Why are there two solutions for the equation |6 + y| = 2? Explain.

1 answer:

3 0

Since it is in absolute value it switches the negative to a positive so here let me show you

|6+y| = 2

If you try -4 you get 2 in a positive form so -4 is one correct.

The second correct one is -8 because 6-8 is -2 but as I was saying before how the absolute value changes it into positive, that means -2 would be switched to 2 meaning that -8 is also a correct answer.

If you need more help just search up what absolute value is.

4x-y=2 2x+9y=-12 unsure how to solve

Anna11 [10]

Simple, use the process of elimination to figure this out:

4x-y=2
2x+9y=-12

Convert these, to be able to find either x or y.

2(4x-y=2) 8x-2y=4 multiply by 2.
then
4(2x+9y=-12) 8x+36y=-48

Which makes them

8x-2y=4
-
8x+36y=-48

-38y=52

This simplified makes it y= -26/19.

Then plug y back into the original equation

4x-y=2

4x-(-26/19)=2

Making it x= 3/19.

Thus your Point of Intersection is at (3/19, -26/19)
